Found out I'm the great-great(not sure how many greats)grandson of a confederate soldier, who might've owned a slave. I doubt it though. The ancestors were coal miners. Broke as shit. People who did that kind of work couldn't afford to own human beings. They just fought to protect a near-feudal culture that condoned slavery. Way to go.
In other news, I'm less stressed about school, even though I have a shit ton to do. This is about love--my education that is. If it's not, I need to drop out now. Yeah, there's pressure on me to produce, but I'm being given an opportunity to create. I intend to take it.
